International Cybercrime Research Centre

WELCOME TO THE INTERNATIONAL CYBERCRIME RESEARCH CENTRE
AT SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY

A message from our director, Dr. Rob Gordon:

dr.robgordon

The International Cybercrime Research Centre opened at the Surrey Campus of Simon Fraser University in the Summer of 2008 with significant core funding provided by the Government of British Columbia. The Centre is one of several highly productive and ground breaking research centres and institutes within the School of Criminology.

Since 2008, we have been gradually building our cybercrime research programs, as well as a distinctive program of cybercrime studies aimed initially at the undergraduate level. Students may now take basic and more advanced courses focused upon aspects of cybercrime. Graduate programming will follow as we build our research trajectories and add to our faculty complement. At present, M.A. and Ph.D. students may focus their work on cybercrime topics as part of the School of Criminology's regular graduate programming but the goal is to develop an interdisciplinary specialization that includes faculty and graduate students from other fields, most obviously from the Schools of Computing Science and from Interactive Arts and Technology.

Our active research programs are concentrated in the areas of child pornography, criminal networks analysis, and an analysis of on-line sexual predators. Forthcoming projects will be examining the nature and impact of cybercrime in a large metropolitan area, cyber-bullying, and on-line gambling. In each case, our research is being conducted in partnership with law enforcement and other government agencies granting Centre researchers unique access to key data sources. Further information about these programs can be found in the pages of our website and I invite you to contact the principal researchers for more information about their activities. For further information about cybercrime studies in the School of Criminology please contact the School's academic advisors through the main website: www.sfu.ca/criminology .

Sincerely,

Robert M. Gordon, Ph.D.
Professor and Director,
School of Criminology.
